Not much of a farmer so I will ask. What is the purpose of a cultipacker?

Basically it makes a nice firm seed bed, helps with erosion and soil to seed contact. I spray my fields with glyphosphate (roundup) about 3 weeks before planting. Come back planting day and disc, spread fertilizer, seed (wheat oats, rye, winter peas, etc) ... then cultipack. After that spread your clover and walk away.

Clethodim. Some clover specifically white will tolerate low dosages of 2-4D in my experience also. i have a mix of Durana and Crimson. I top mow mine when it goes to seed early summer and it keeps on making. Sometimes without replanting for a few years. Depending on weather conditions obviously.
